The NY Times is not Fox "news." [View all]
The NY Times is one of the favorite targets of many here on DU. However, I believe they are still one of the great newspapers in the world. (Having said that, I've put on my flak suit and helmet in preparation for the incoming attacks.)
I've been reading the NY Times since I was a teenager in high school. It helped get me interested in science, the arts, politics, history, geography, and the rest of the world around us. It kept me informed a whole lot about a whole lot.
And yes, they've fucked up over the years with too much "both sides do it," and their negligent coverage of the 9/11 Iraq lie. However, in every single election since 1960, they've endorsed the Democratic candidate for the presidency. That's 60 years of standing behind the Democrat's values and idea of America, as opposed to the mindless crap that Republicans try to feed us.
They're not MSNBC. But much of what is on MSNBC is opinion. Aside from the OP page, the NY Times is (mostly) about the practice of journalism. Think about this. How many MAGAs, and other wingnuts of every variety, have ever read the NY Times?
Why don't we all stop wasting keystrokes on those who are not our "Domestic Enemies" and trying to destroy our freedoms. If the NY Times went out of business tomorrow, the corrupt fascists called the Republican Party would be in joy beyond compare. Is that what we really want?
